Yesterday we had a follow up appointment with Dr. McGoodDaddy, it went fine. He asked how things were going and I told him. He smiled. We talked some more. The thing is Timothy's foot is a little to big for his shoe and according to Dr McGoodDaddy Timbo is flexing his foot to get it out of the shoe. So what he wants me to try, no gasping please, is to duck tape around the top of his shoe and the sock so he can't get out. I know it sound awful but it's the same idea as using coban, which we have already used, but duck tape is a lot cheaper, in the words of the Dr, "Duck tape, it just works for everything". I'm sure after a while it's going to leave his shoes looking o' so pretty but what's a mommy to do right.
He also wants me to have Timothy wear his shoes during the day now as well, no duck tape then. We will go back and see Dr McGoodDaddy in two months when Timbo is nine months old. At some point in the near future we may get him some, bare with me I have never heard this term before so it mostly like will not be spelt right, straight lac shoes that he would wear until about two. These would be for the day time and he would continue to wear the brace at night.
I try not to think too far ahead because things could change, especially with how young he is. So for right now the plan is to buy duck tape. It sounds crazy I know.
